Since its not covered much I am wondering what these guys are doing against NATO forces. More than just your regular guerilla warfare. They have to defend themselves against all manner of intelligence like electronic survellience, night/thermal vision, better weapons, higher numbers. How do they cope?
Has anyone come across a blog, forum, or even a book by these fighters that talk about day to day fighting, thats not total propaganda. I think that would be very interesting to read.

G'day Mooxe, with regards to this subject, I think that even if you were able to find an on-line blog or forum, it would be very difficult to verify that it was actually genuine. Any idiot anywhere in the world could set one up, possibly even in the hope of distracting or mis-leading NATO intelligence gathering services. Plus, as almost all of these so-called insurgents come from non-English speaking countries, it is unlikely that they would converse on their blog in English (How's your Pashtu?) so translating could be a problem. Mind you, if there was a forum set up by Al Qaeda, it could go something like this...
Osama Biggus Dickus is logged on
Osama Biggus Dickus: Hey Zak, u there?
Howie Zawahiri: Yo dude, what sup?
Osama Biggus Dickus: nuffin much, just checking out what's happenin in your cave?
Howie Zawahiri: Got some cool ganja over here. I'm just finishin nother video to send to Barry at Al Jazeera, u no, normal stuff, muslims unite, attack the infidel unbelievers, death to america and all dat. What's happenin in your cave?
Osama Biggus Dickus: Aw man, I'm suffering. All my four mother's in law are dissing me about everything. Why dey gots to live in a cave, why is it always cold, why can't we go and live in a heated pad somewhere like der sons do. It's getting me down bro, dem bitches got no respect. Wished that instead of hiding out in Tora Bora, I should have hid out in Bora Bora.
Howie Zawahiri: Where da fuck is Bora bora? Near East Bagram?
Osama Biggus Dickus: No fool, it's in Tahiti dude. u no, pacific islands, sun, beaches and tanned naked bitches wearing grass skirts. I could have me some of that action. No more freezing mountain cave for me, and dem dumbass americans would never find me there, dey will still think I'm up here in these hills somewhere.
Howie Zawahiri: LOL
Osama Biggus Dickus: I tell ya bro, we's in the wrong place. Plus, dem frenchies who own the joint would keep the heat off us, dey hate bush more dan we do. Dat wanksta never find us there, We could be living in twat for rest of our lives.
Howie Zawahiri: LMAO I hear ya bro
Osama Biggus Dickus: yo later dude, mother in law callin me, wants me to take out trash can.
What do you reckon, you think Osama Bin Ladin and Ayman al-Zawahiri speak like that?
first, I think the recent change in tactics by Talebans is in fact only a message of strenght to both Western Powers and Muslim world as a whole, something like: 'Well, five years since 9/11 we are recovered and we are capable to launch a full scale war on western powers here in Afghanistan and perhaps else where, so your War on Terror is not going anywhere'.
or
second, if you are adept of some conspiracy theory (9/11 was an inside job and a pretext for 'War on Terror' wich should last for years acording to Bush statements), the new waves of Taleban attacks came as a justification for increasing budget for Armies (some NATO members accusing others for 'not doing enought' and more reinforcements dropped in Afghanistan and Iraq). Combine this with a video showing the Osama bin Laden meeting with suspected terrorist Ramzi Binalshibh released only now, at 9/11 five years commemoration.
in any cases, the ultimate price is paid by the ordinay peoples, soldiers and civillians alike on both sides, victims in fact of ideologies or cruel interest groups
However you have a valid point. If a regular joe can find a message board where terrorist are exchanging tactics the CIA would have a much easier job hehe...
But hey, if you want to read something about the thoughts of a wanna-be terrorist check out the weblog of the president of Iran: http://www.ahmadinejad.ir/
Readable in French, Farsi, Arabic and English. Still, its the same bullsh*t, no matter what language you read it.

Information or actual accounts are on the net somewhere, it has to be. I mean these guys are fighting a war to, and naturally they will have stories to tell. They do have alot of non english websites, and they video tape alot to it seems. Theres no shortage of stories or tactic manuals from any NATO country online.

Yes and everytime Al Jazeera "magically" gets those tapes and shows them. You are right about all the NATO info, sadly it`s not only that info available, every one able to use Google can find out "how to build a homemade bomb in 3 easy steps".
Sure Internet is a gift and i can`t imagine living without it, but all that knowledge on the Net has a flipside aswell...[/quote]
